✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,332 endorsements) — this is a proven fix.
- Massive download count (124,698) shows it's a go-to for UI clutter.
- 45% more items visible means way less scrolling when building outposts.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the outpost build menu — don't expect changes to other UI elements.
- Compatibility with other UI mods isn't mentioned — could conflict if you run a full UI overhaul.
For base-building enthusiasts who spend ages scrolling through build menus and want a cleaner, more efficient layout. Also for anyone who values UI polish without changing gameplay. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla menu or prefer full UI overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on PC, drop the file into your Data folder or use a mod manager — it's a simple install.
- Check if you have other UI mods that might affect the build menu; if so, test in a new save to avoid conflicts.
- Since it's a UI mod, it won't affect your save file — safe to install mid-playthrough.
